Team plane makes emergency landing: Players were flying in for Man United v Fenerbahce

The Turkish giants were flying into Manchester for their Europa League clash with United tomorrow night.
But their private jet was hit by a bird on its way to the UK, cracking the cockpit's windscreen.
The damage to the plane - that had earlier departed from Istanbul - forced the pilot to land in Budapest, Hungary.
A second plane was then sent from Turkey to pick the team up to finish the journey.
